Police investigating the deaths of a man and two young boys in a flat in Tidworth are gathering CCTV images to build a picture of their movements in the seven days until their bodies were discovered.

Graham Gordon Anderson, aged 36, was found dead in the rented property in Sidbury Circular Road at lunchtime on Saturday. The bodies of the boys, aged 11 and three, were in another room.

We are gathering CCTV footage from shops in Tidworth and from buses which run through the town.

It is very important that we establish the movements of Graham Anderson and the boys between Saturday 25 August and Saturday 1 September.

I am grateful to members of the public who have called us with possible sightings but we would like to renew our appeal for information.

We know that Mr Anderson was a regular bus user so we would appeal to fellow passengers and bus drivers to come forward if they recall seeing him and the boys during last week.
